Point 6 and 9 are complete sentences if you remove what is in between the commas, so the commas are used to set off the qualifying dependent clauses.
I'm no English major either but I don't think that's completely correct. The qualifying clause is necessary to the meaning of the sentence. It's different from saying, for instance, "LordtheNightKnight, a poster at VGChartz, likes to use commas." In that case I don't think you're generally supposed to have commas.

I don't mean to drag this out or beat a dead horse, so you can ignore this if you want, but if you want to pursue this question then obviously I've made myself available.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
